If coming with a friend, or 2-3 others: Please make sure to 'ADD-ON' separate appointments for each person in your group (+30 mins per person, or +60 mins per person). For those wanting just one design, they may split a 30 min session with a friend - 15 mins per person.
It is best to arrive 5-10 mins early to your appointment so we can keep everything running smoothly! Holiday henna appointments are booked back to back so if your late you will lose out on your scheduled time!

Holiday Henna Examples
-
What type of designs can I expect?At 'holiday' henna appointments you can expect "medium heavy" coverage designs - that is the hand up to the wrist, with a mix of heavier + intricate lines, and some empty space. I will be doing various styles (see photos above for examples). I encourage clients to give me a general idea of what they like and let me create something unique for them. Please note that due to time constraints,I cannot provide 'bridal-like' full designs. Also, this type of appt. does not allow me to time to copy out a design *exactly.* You can see many examples of my work on this website and on my social media pages. All photos here and on my socials depict designs I have personally applied over the last 18+ years of doing henna.
-
What type of henna do you use?At Henna Craze, we only use natural henna which is personally mixed and packaged by Sumeyya. Natural henna stains best when kept on for 6-8 hours and kept away from water for as long as possible (the longer you avoid water on your henna'd skin, the darker the final color). Immediately after paste removal, your henna will be orange -- this is normal for natural henna. It will continue to darken over 2 days to a deep brown tone. You will receive detailed henna aftercare info at your appointment.
-
Where will my appointment be?'Holiday' henna sessions are only offerred at our location in Bolingbrook, IL 60490. Once you book your appointment you will get an automatic confirmation email with our address + directions. Please note that we cannot accommodate walk-ins for holiday henna - by appointment only.
-
When should I book my appointment?Our scheduler (SCROLL TO BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE) will be open for: Eid henna bookings starting the first week of Ramadan; Karwa Chauth henna bookings starting the week before; Diwali henna bookings starting the week before. In past years, we do get fully booked quite fast, so we suggest booking your appointment as soon as possible to avoid dissapointment. Once all appointments are full for that day, no more time slots will show as open. As far as when is the best day prior to your holiday to book your henna apppointment - you can book your henna appointment up to 3 days before, though of course 2 days or 1 day before is fine too (if booking the day before you will have a red-orange stain versus deep brown stain as natural henna requires 2 days for the color to come out). Your henna stain will not begin to fade until 5 or 6 days after your appointment.

How do I book?Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page and you will see our booking page - choose the session you'd like to book, select any 'Add-Ons' if you wish, and you will see our available dates+times for 'Holiday' henna sessions.
